[49er12]

Other than plastic coil covers that crack or break and must removed and cleaned, possible silicone or thin rubber coated.

You want to ruin your resale value and or warranty, spray or paint some crap on your coil. Use a scuff cover, and don't be lazy.

You just gave me an idea! Ever heard of Silicone Stretch Covers?

I have heard of people using truck bed liner spray with good results. Never tried it myself though, thinking about it.

coil covers arent meant to be tough as iron, they are meant to take the abuse instead of your coil. they only cost a few dollars and are meant to be replaced when they break. Even with that said, I have NEVER had a coil cover break on me.

Like Terry said, there are options if you dont care if you ruin resale value or dont care if it looks like crap, or voids your warranty.

Use a coil condom!

Terry, I can't quite read what it says about the bag, but can the 500 pounder be used hold the pulltabs I dig in a weekend?

I would highly recommend using coil covers, they are much cheaper than replacing the coil.

I just buy a couple extra coil covers for my machines, and as they get old/damaged- I replace them.

Whip up a batch of kodiak cakes pancake batter (extra thick) dip coil and let dry for 3 days and go

Saw someone in UK offer not coil cover but coil bumper- stretch on to avoid nicks from rocks. I like this idea. Looked on eBay saw you can cheaply buy various sized rubber bands thick and wide. So get like 6” to stretch on a 9” coil. Doesn’t replace coil cover. It’s in addition.
Also manufacturers should offer option of open cover or solid cover or full cover. Some like the latter in stubble. But in all cases just buy an extra and replace when needed or if you decide to sell coil.
Don’t see why someone could not offer generic sized silicone full covers for coils. They might be more durable- certainly would be great bump guards when detecting rocky areas, and would look cool offered in various colors - red, blue , neon green , black. I never like the sound of hitting rocks. They’d also be easier to remove for cleaning.
Get on it after marketers.
